About Anthony

Learn Anthony’s areas of practice.

During my college and law school years, I always knew that I wanted to come back and serve the area that has been so good to my family and me--Lancaster County. After graduating from law school, I was hired as an Assistant District Attorney for the Lancaster County District Attorney's Office, and soon thereafter I was appointed Director of the Child Abuse Prosecution Unit. My time in the DA's office was dedicated to prosecuting those who physically or sexually abused the children of Lancaster County. Although incredibly emotionally taxing, I knew that these child victims needed a voice in our courts and that I had to do everything within my power to break the cycle of abuse.

Since child predators do not make a habit out of accepting responsibility for their actions, many times, our prosecutions would culminate in trials. By handling a multitude of trials, hearings and other prosecutorial proceedings, I became extremely comfortable in and developed a command of the courtroom and gained a valuable understanding of what judges and juries look for when evaluating a case.

When I transitioned into civil law, I knew that I had to fulfill a similar role; that is, advocating for the rights of accident victims who need a voice in our legal system. I wanted to be the one who spoke on behalf of these people to insurance companies, judges and juries and fought for them to be compensated for their pain and suffering--pain and suffering that is not their fault and that they were forced to endure because of the negligence of another.

I formed Georgelis Injury Law Firm, P.C. in 2005 with the purpose and vision to be a powerful legal force for the people of Lancaster County in motor vehicle accidents, on the job, on someone else's property or any other means involving the fault of another. We just celebrated 16 years of doing just that. My promise to each and every one of our clients is that you will treated like a member of our family.

I'm so glad I chose Georgelis Law Firm
I was involved in a motorcycle accident and I'm so glad I chose Georgelis Law Firm to represent me with my case. My initial meeting with Tony left me extremely confident as well as relieved that I'd made the right choice. We discussed the events in detail and he assured me that he and his team would follow up with any updates or to provide guidance in regards to my case. It was reassuring to know that I could just focus on the long road to healing with the knowledge that I was in great hands and my best interests were always in mind. Georgelis Law was fantastic and there every step of the way. They didn't let me down. As promised, they fought hard on my behalf and delivered!

Extremely Knowledgeable, Experienced and Successful Law Firm!!!
My husband was injured in a car accident by the negligence of another driver. When it became apparent that his injury was much more serious than originally thought and major surgery was in his future, we realized we needed an attorney to help navigate the process. Being very uncomfortable with the thought of this we met with several attorneys and none of them felt right. Upon the recommendation of a friend we called Georgelis Law Firm. From that very first conversation with Gemma we felt so much at ease. Gemma is a lovely person, very understanding and kind. We immediately made an appointment to speak with Tony. During that meeting we felt confident that Tony was the one to help us through this ordeal. Tony is a very likeable, laid back lawyer but it is apparent that he is extremely knowledgable and experienced. During the process the entire staff at Georgelis Law Firm was there any time to answer questions or to help with paperwork etc. and never once did we feel like a bother calling into them for help. Tony went above and beyond and helped us to get everything accomplished. We are very happy with our outcome and would highly recommend them!

Competency, Compassion and First Class Representation
As a victim of a DUI driver, my first few days in the hospital were fraught with confusion, uncertainty and a bit of panic as I struggled to come to terms with what had happened and what it would mean for me and my family as I went forward. I needed help, more than just medical, and I came to the realization that Georgelis Law was where I should turn. In my opinion, this was the absolute best choice I could have made. In my initial meeting with Attorney Georgelis he calmed my fears and gave me the framework of what would transpire as we went forward. I immediately knew I was in good hands and that certainly proved to be true. He and his staff went out of their way to handle all of the details and to keep me fully informed of everything that was happening as the case progressed. It was clear that everyone I dealt with at the firm truly cared about me and my family's well-being. The outcome of the case was totally satisfactory, just and transpired in a timely manner.

Endorse Anthony
Personal injury Attorney | Jun 18
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse this lawyer. Anthony Georgelis is a fine trial lawyer, who has excellent court room skills. He is respected by the judiciary and by other legal counsel, including opposing counsel. He obtains good results for his clients. In years past, I was opposing counsel on some cases. He was a zealous advocate, but scrupulously abided by the Rules of Professional Responsibility. He is very experienced in multiple aspects of tort litigation, including complex cases. He is knowledgeable about procuring expert medical witnesses, and is quite skilled in taking medical depositions. Yet, he relates well to juries and to witnesses, and is not considered condescending in manner, which sometimes occurs with renowned trial attorneys. Furthermore, Mr. Georgelis is very experienced in workers' compensation matters, although he has been performing more liability cases within the last several years. I strongly endorse Attorney Anthony Georgelis."
